Sliding is such a good idea, it make every action cooler ! If there are fex improvement you can think of, I'd say, making the double jump consistent (because it is clunky and difficult to use) and making sure penguins have a big enough gap between them in order to select them easily when the ice is crowded ^^\nOther than that, I enjoyed the moment and the polishing level of the game (animations, tooltips, inventory count...).
